If Time = x Then ...

[Sfikes]

Hey i have a problem!

This script will activate once the time is 22:05:00 and send a message.
 

#include <Date.au3>


While 1

If _NowTime(5) = "22:05:00" Then
       Send("Hell yea!")
       ExitLoop
EndIf

WEnd

Whenever i try to run my code it doesn't go like it should. It never sends a "Hell Yea" when the time have passed. So i have no idea how to fix this.

try

If _NowTime(5) >= "22:05:00" Then

as you have a exitloop it will only be send once nearby 22:05:00. I suggest: put also a sleep(10) in your loop.

the condition is correct, and a 1s time window should be sufficient to trap the time. the likely cause is that when the time is reached, you have no input field in focus, so you do not see the keys sent.

You also might want to consider using Scheduled Tasks instead if allowed in your environment.  The advantage of doing so is you don't have to have a resident process (your script) tracking the time, but rather pass that task/responsibility to the OS.  Depends on what you are looking to accomplish I guess....

Are you certain the message isn't being sent, what window is active at 22:05:00 ? (Where is the send() sending the message)
